Only The Good Die Young
Chapter 3
"Hi Rachie, it's Finn, this is my fourth time calling, I just want to make sure you're okay. You're probably just up extra early for a rehearsal, you are the star after all! Anyway, call me back when you get this message. Love you!"
"Hey Rach, just me again, I hope you're okay, I love you, call me soon"
Oh god, six messages from Finn? I've been at rehearsals since 12pm and it's now 1.30am, I feel like hell and I forgot to call Finn! I can't believe I forgot! I've been waiting to speak to him for days, we keep missing each other, I'll call him now, but I can't let on that I feel ill...
"Hello, you've reached Finn Hudson, sorry I can't talk right now, leave a message and I'll try get back to you asap!..."
"Hi Finn, it's Rachel, sorry I didn't call you, I've been so busy and I forgot! I hope you're okay and safe, I miss you so much, please come home soon! I love you, I'll call you tomorrow morning, love you, bye baby"
I nearly broke down leaving that message, Finn sounds so happy and worry free in his message. If I tell him about the cancer that will all change. I love him so much, more than anything, I would give up everything to make him happy but there's nothing I can do about this. I worry about Finn all the time, he's in Afghanistan, fighting. He's at risk of dying everyday, whenever I hear that someone has been killed there I get so worried it's going to be him. I really don't know what I'd do without him, I don't know what he'd do without me? But soon he's going to be without me soon.
I just hope more than anything that he carries on and finds someone else, I just want him to have the happiest life possible.
All of a sudden I'm brought out of my thoughts by the voices of James and Grant calling me. "Rachel Berry, get over here now! We don't have time for you to sit there doing nothing! Hurry up!"
"Sorry, just coming" We have one more dance rehearsal now and then we should be over, we should finish by 3.00am then I'm back in the morning for 6am. I know Grant and James don't have that much time to put on this musical, but they could be a little more thoughtful of feelings.
1 Hour Later
"Okay, done, go! You've done well", calls Grant in a surprisingly happy tone.
I can relax slightly now, I can go home and sleep for at least two hours and then I get to speak to my Finn.
